Freeform Rigid Heddle Weaving
About Freeform Rigid Heddle Weaving
To free oneself from a conventional way of weaving is sometimes very challenging. In this class we will explore Japanese style weaving. There are no mistakes in this style of weaving. It’s all about free expression through your weaving. We will create a beautiful and unique woven cloth by using different techniques like clasped weft, adding textures and mixing colors.
